Alpha continuitty

[Alpha Rider]

I'm trying to piece together AF's continuitty from the regular series to the guess apperances. dose anyone have any clues to where which books go where?

[Tawmis]

I thought there was one on the site?

dose anyone have any clues to where which books go where?

Yes, I do. All books go directly to my house; please include sufficient postage. Thanx! :)

When we have the time and technology to do so, we'll try and get the appearances in some sort of timeline continuity wise as well as release wise.

The majority of the appearances in the forum are listed for year of release, but sometimes I can be slightly slack on that front.

Yes, I know of that, but trying to place books/ stories in order. i.e. where do the Rom apperances go? before or after Mac's death? even though they caame out the same year of his death. If i's after his death then dose it go before or Spider man Ann 7?

You know I do work for Canada Post?

As I said above;

Can't say as i did. But i do now. Canada Post, eh?...it's okay, i forgive you. :P

S'okay, Alpha Rider. We all know that even the great Canada Post isn't the world's best employer.

Tim Hortons is. (And I don't even work there!)

[ClawMaraud]

Canada Post MIGHT be one of the last things TRULY Canadian. That is something to be proud of.

I fell off my chair in shock about a month ago when I read that Tim Horton's, Hudson's Bay, CCM and many other 'Canadian' institutes are not owned by entities in this country anymore. They are all part of worldwide mega-corporations.

My mail delivery guy is actually friendly. He waves and says hello if I am within ear shot of him.

I won't be suprised if there is a forgien shareholders.

I've considered putting one together. I've sorted my Alpha Flight collection into what I think of as "the" order, as best I can. I could just post a list, but I wanted to do something more, and give reasons why.

I do have a section for that in my reviews, but you'd have to hope I'd reviewed a particular issue.

The Rom issues go before Mac's death, because he's alive in the issue. I usually put them as close as possible to release date, but those particular issues are between #s 1 and 2 in my collection (there are quite a lot there, since #1 was in the 'past').
The reason is, they're still calling 'Guardian' 'Vindicator', but Marrina's part of the group.

Therein is another issue; breaking the issues up into parts and sections and flashbacks and thus.
It's easier to do with the initial run where it's broken up into parts, but around the Lee/Niceiza era's it'll get extremely messy....

Once the holiday season is over I'll toy with the idea of resurrecting some kind of reading club and divvying chunks of issues out to people to list for character appearances and time periods.

I like to think my sorting for time periods is pretty close to definitive. There's never been any discussion of it, though, so there's room - but my first suggestion, in my vain, arrogant way, is if you want to know where an issue fits, ask me.
The worst that can happen is that you'll use the exact combination of syllables to summon up Bel-Syggaroth Hqjoc, and bring about Armaggeddon, thus ending all sanity and then life on the Earth as we know it...
But honestly, how often does that happen? Every Tuesday? I like those odds.

Anyway, the next worst is, I could say 'I don't know'. It's possible I don't have the issue, or it's just a cameo so I don't sort it into Alpha Flight (at the moment, my entire Alpha Flight box is in the 'guest apperances' cover gallery, btw, so if it's not in there...). But there are plenty of people on this thread (Phil) who can answer. :)

Actually, maybe the next worst is I'll write a needlessly long, rambling, egotistical thread... Ooh, great example!

I shall have a word in your ear/inbox in a month or so.

I'd defer to Rob's superior knowledge and collection.

Cool.
And, yeah, Rob seems to know more than us - he's just a little less vocal about it, so I don't always remember to bring him up.
